If you’re curious about science, want to make a positive impact on the environment and help to shape a sustainable future, a degree in environmental science with a focus on biotechnology will open doors for you.
SEMO's Environmental Science: Biogeotechnology program blends biology, chemistry, and technology to create solutions for real-world environmental challenges — like cleaning up pollution, developing sustainable energy, and improving agriculture.
As an Environmental Science major focusing on Biogeotechnology, you’ll dive into subjects like genetics, microbiology, environmental chemistry, and data analysis. You’ll gain hands-on experience in labs, work with advanced technology, and explore how science can help protect and restore the planet. Many programs also include internships or research opportunities, giving you practical skills employers value.
With this degree, you can make a real impact. Here are just a few career paths you could follow:
Environmental Biotechnologist – Use microbes and genetic engineering to clean up pollution or improve sustainability in industries.
Sustainability Specialist – Help businesses and organizations reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and meet environmental regulations.
Biofuels Researcher – Work on creating cleaner, renewable energy sources from biological materials.
Agricultural Biotechnologist – Develop crops that are more resistant to disease and climate change.
Conservation Scientist – Protect natural resources and ecosystems through research and policy development.
